Guy Emanuele Elementary School

New Haven Unified School District

Located about a mile away from Mission San Jose, one of the original 21 California missions, this new 900-student elementary school sought to capture the architectural flavor and style of the Mission Era.

The entire school was built on a four-acre parcel, adjacent to a multi-use park. Buildings surround and face the 4 linking courtyards, providing control and security in the manner of the mission settlements. The kindergarten and administrative building and the multi-purpose complex face the front of the school, while classrooms occupy the rear part.
